George the goldfish develops Hitler moustache

Meet George the goldfish who has recently come to resemble the infamous Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.

His owner swears he raises a fin towards her as she walks into the room.

The five-year-old has already seen off two other fish and has a liking for vegetarian-only food, just like the Führer.

‘George’s colour has changed a lot over the years, he was originally brown,’ said his owner Deborah Cochrane from Belfast. ‘But he has stayed a glorious orange over the past year or two and that’s when the moustache developed.

‘He refuses to eat fish food. He will only eat vegetables and particularly loves his peas. Whenever I walk into the same room as George, I notice he often has a fin raised and worry he is trying to indoctrinate me,’ she joked.

The marking is a result of the fish’s body fighting an infection. Sadly for George, it might be permanent.
